New DC Comics Line: ‘Vertigo Crime’

At Comic Con in San Diego DC Senior Vice President and Vertigo Editor-in-Chief, Karen Berger, announced a new publishing line: Vertigo Crime, a series of graphic novels for readers who enjoy crime, thriller, detective, and mystery fiction.
Set to launch in June of 2009, Vertigo Crime will be published as single, one-off hardcover graphic novels. These crime novels will be in black-and-white and have a very modern look.
In an interview for icv2.com, Berger characterized the Vertigo Crime line as: “fast-paced, smart, sexy, edgy tough books that are very readable. They feel like Vertigo books, but they will read like fast-paced crime novels.
